Eliminating the Existential Threat of Nuclear Weapons

As experts warn that we are closer to nuclear war than we have ever been, UN Under Secretary General Izumi Nakamitsu, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross Peter Maurer, Vice-President of the ICRC Gilles Carbonnier, and President of Rotary International Shekhar Mehta discuss the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and other steps that we can take to eliminate the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons.

International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War is proud to sponsor this important virtual event along with our partners in the International Council of Nurses, the International Federation of Medical Students’ Association, the World Federation of Public Health Association, and the World Medical Association.

Nuclear war is not the future that must be, but we must act to protect humanity from this existential threat. Watch the full recorded event now.
